how bout say 9am Sat morning when a lot of the country is still sleeping and wont watch. If Bama put up 66 against Old Mrs, we should look for 70+ against the Hogs. Wish it wasnt so, but if a Sun Belt team can push our defense around and make long drives against us on our own home field, Bama and its plethora of 4 and 5 star linemen will find little resistance from our D.

hey, now thats an idea. Is there a hurricane somewhere that we can say we need to avoid so game will be cancelled?

I really hate feeling this way. I remember when Lou Holtz suspended the 3 players before the Orange Bowl and everyone thought we were going to get killed but they came out and won 31.-6. I desperately want to think there is hope. Would love for Ark to come out on fire, focused and get a turnover or a scoop and score or a pick 6, but I just come back to the actual players that will be on the field and I just cant see it.

I feel the same way. I think Bama is even more dominant this year than last. I think there is a real chance of injuries. I'd actually be ok with Bret playing a very conservative game, lots of runs to keep the clock going in order to shorten the game.

There's always hope. I don't expect it to be much of a game the way Bama is rolling, but who knows?

Alabama has reached a point where only a very few teams *Clemson, Ohio State, maybe USC, Penn State* really have the talent to challenge them. They will eat us alive of course but I look for them to do the same thing to Auburn and Georgia when the time comes.

I think they would/will beat both of those teams as well, but the degree they "eat them alive" will be way LESS than the degree that they eat US alive. The difference in overall team talent/speed between UGa/Auburn and the Hogs is tremendous. Heck, Old Mrs has some really nice talent that they bought over the past few years under Freeze and Bama hung a 66 spot on them, but Saban did want to send a message to the Rebs since they were the last team to beat Bama in the regular season. Maybe Saban wont have any message to send the Hogs and we can escape with giving up only say 49 pts. Thats my hope anyway.

I watched on t.v. some of Alabama's game against Ole Miss. I am not convinced that Alabama has the overall elite speed that will be needed against Clemson.

Clemson has won 3 games against top 15 opponents, with 2 of those being wins on the road. Clemson was on cruise control in those 3 wins against top 15 opponents. I don't know if it is true or not, but someone posted over on another message board that it is the first time ever that a team has won 3 times against top 15 opponents during 1 month.

There are non-Clemson fans who have posted on another message board that Clemson looks better than last season.
